Throughout the history of nuclear development in the United States, the accompanying environmental risks have been invisible to the general public. This is largely because the federal government has isolated each specific process, from the uranium mining to the radioactive waste disposal, inside the National Sacrifice Zone, which was inhabited historically by American-Indian tribes. The spatial construction of the National Sacrifice Zone, which was justified by referring to the notion of national security, has reproduced a state of exception. By looking at the historical geography of uranium mining in the Navajo Nation, this paper articulates the social processes inherent in the exclusion of indigenous land, bodies, and rights from the federal government's legal obligations to protect its own citizens. This structural colonialism over the indigenous nations, intertwined with their geographical marginalization, has formed the core of the reproduction of risks in nuclear development inside the U.S.

This paper proposes the use of sociological semantic analysis to conduct a historical study of the welfare state. Dating back to the 1990s, theoretical discussions about reconstructing the welfare state have tended to focus on the ideational processes of political decision-making. However, this approach does not consider the state's social structure from a historical perspective. This paper examines the work of Niklas Luhmann, who scrutinized relationships between concepts and social structures, and it evaluates his theory of semantics. Using this analysis, the author shows both that the understanding of the formation of a welfare state in terms of ideals or concepts requires that its semantic character be understood first in its historical context and that Luhmann's self-referential system theory is applicable for this purpose, especially if one focuses on his two central concepts:reflection and the binary code.

This paper elaborates the process of how media representation was formed around “Agricultural Communities” in Japan after the war, taking as its lead the NHK program, “Farm Programs.” Most existing studies have focused only on urban tourists' view of such communities rather than discussing the issue of representation as related to social issues like the declining acreage and depopulation that these communities have been coping with. Besides, these studies did not conduct any further analysis either of this representation or of the program's audience, which leaves untouched the question of how the representation was shaped or what kind of negotiation took place between the program's creators and their rural subjects. The present paper will elaborate on the above issues by focusing on NHK's local correspondents as mediators of communication between NHK's directors and Japan's rural society in order to illustrate new possibilities regarding the link between Regional/Rural Sociology and Media Studies.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify how undergraduates in social science faculties perceive the criteria for hiring new university graduates and how they adjust to these criteria in preparing for interviews. The major findings are as follows. First, undergraduates refer to a public image of talent and recognize that it is relevant to the criteria for hiring new university graduates and recognize that to be themselves is more effective in order to pass the job interviews. Second, they discern that employers evaluate both generic skills like teamwork and nonverbal information. Third, they elaborately prepare a presentation about themselves that they believe plays to the criteria for hiring new university graduates. In conclusion, the implication of these findings is discussed.

This paper reveals the hidden history of AIDS grass roots activism through the gay magazine G-men. There are few qualitative sociological studies that focus on the lives of persons living with HIV that has been sexually transmitted, and even fewer resilience studies on how these people have survived and what they have achieved. To address these topics, in this study, we interviewed Hiroshi Hasegawa, a former editor of the gay magazine G-men. Hasegawa emphasized the pleasure-based approach, promoting an understanding that it is possible to participate in safer sex while indulging in one’s fantasies. Based on the experiences of people who are living with HIV, readers were able to discover practical perspectives and reduce the stigma that society has attached to their sexualities and HIV/AIDS.

In many developed societies, there is an increase in the number of couples who are cohabiting in unregistered marriages. This trend is often used as an example to indicate changes in consciousness that are part of the transformation of a modern society. Those who have adopted the Japanese term “jijitsukon (unregistered marriage)” to refer to their cohabitation often regard themselves as “married,” yet the question of “why couples in an unregistered marriage choose that option” has received little attention to date. We conclude that the practice of “unregistered marriages” is neither a simple secession from the idea of a conventional “marriage” nor is it restricted to a “traditional” vocabulary. Instead, it should be viewed in terms of a “reinterpretation” of marriage.

There have been few articles on the sociological analysis of love. In this paper, it is tried to make framework of sociological analysis of love in with reference to ‘Sociology of Emotions’, and to understand the character of the love institution in modern society by using the fruits of Social History. It is understood that love is constructed subjectively by feeling rules regulating the relation between situations, desires to act, emotional words. And love is institutionalized by the several types of norms. In modern society, the love institutions are characterized by the enclosure in marriage.

How are cooperative social orders constructed and maintained ? This is one of the most fundamental and at the same time practical questions of social sciences. This paper provides a theoretical framework for empirical research to answer at least some important parts of this question by elaborating the sociological conception: trust. It critically examines the various research traditions for trust, proposes basic schema of trusting relationships, explains features of cooperations based on trust and discusses macrosociological implication of trust.

This paper examines the relationship between chorus and community consciousness through an analysis of choral movements in 19th-century Germany. The first polyphonic form consisting of male and female voices created a community consciousness based on cooperation with others. But polyphony exists in tension with a simultaneous utterance of different melodies, and moves towards a stabler form. This form was included in unison choral movements derived from polyphonic choral movements. Unison chorus brings about a consciousness of homogeneity. From this derivation of unison, we can understand the German society as being oriented towards a ‘Volksgemeinschaft’—a purely homogeneous community.

Beginning in the modern era as part of the process of national state formation, the Japanese government adopted an isolation policy for people with Hansen's disease in which sufferers were segregated from the general public and confined to sanatoria. This isolation policy was in effect for a century, ending only recently in 1996.<br>Meanwhile, in post-war Japan, there were some who left the sanatorium. This article examines the experience of Hansen's disease sufferers who left the sanatorium, in order to explore how they constructed plural life-worlds through resisting 'isolation'. 'Return to society' for the sufferers meant that they tried to build several relationships and selves outside the sanatorium.

Gay identity and gay community are both central topics in gay studies and queer studies. However, the relationship between them remains unquestioned. This paper reveals how the relationship between gay identity and gay community has been shifted from the 90's to the present based on an analysis of discourses on coming-out.Coming-out in the 90's included three important elements: aspiration for making a good relationship, high self-reflexivity and entry into the gay community. However, the latter two elements have disappeared and the meaning of coming-out has shifted. This shift demonstrates that the relationship between gay identity and gay community has become more and more irrelevant and independent.

This paper's purpose is to examine the potential of the network concept advanced by Manuel Castells. Various commentators have already criticized the network concept of Castells for its ambiguity. But the ambiguity of his concept, especially its abstract and formal character, has important implications. Network as a social form can be distinguished from other forms (hierarchy, market, and community), but, on the other this form's logic can also connote those forms as well. In other words network as logic can be located in a metaperspective as it operates on other social forms and as it generates alternative forms. A network can be expected to have a great potential to produce "timeless time" and "space of flow". And this high reflexivity of the network reveals the network society as an open system.

This paper has two purposes: 1. to explore cultural differences in the perception of face (mianzi) between Chinese (from the People's Republic of China) and Japanese; and 2. to analyze how these differences affect communication between people from the two cultures. To tackle qualitative differences in the perception of face in the two cultures, in-depth interviews were conducted in an academic setting. The interviewees were: 1. five Japanese who lived in China; 2. eight Chinese living in Japan; 3. two Japanese who have been teaching Chinese students for over ten years; and 4. an American who lived in China and now lives in Japan. The data were analyzed through the KJ method.

This paper provides how the development of ethnomethodology has correspond to today's analytic philosophy or neo-pragmatism.First, we consider a sociologist's discussion that describes the connection between ethnomethodology and phenomenology/ordinary language and we find some points neglected in his discussion. Second, this paper introduces Rorty's argument on the linguistic turn and the correspondence of it to Garfinkel's approach.Finally, we discuss Garfinkel's respecification of order has some origins and parallel flow to analytic and philosophy neo-pragmatism. This result would reflect a vision for an alternative respecification of society.

This report suggests that reexamining draft evasion in the past carries some meaning for the present. For example, there is a pitfall in characterizing conscience-driven draft evasions based on religion or ideology as superior to draft evasion based on a fear of death. Draft evasion was one of the concealed problems in the postwar period. During the 15-year war, draft evaders were viewed as unpatriotic cowards who treasured their lives when the number of war causalities increased. In fact, it was the individual “egoism” of these evaders that the totalitarian state wished to eliminate. The issue of draft evasion still exists today as a clue to the investigation of the “Conflict between the individual and the nation” in the context of human lives.

This study aims to shed light on the hidden dependence inherent in the process of “reflexive ageing” a style of ageing peculiar to the present society that forces people to be subjective and independent. Even in old age, when people need to depend on others, they want to be independent, only to fail. Through revealing mechanism in which people forget their own dependence, the author explores a new type of the relationship between the self and others.

"SPICON" (Spiritual Convention) is one of the most famous events in recent spiritual boom in Japan. In "SPICON" many people including both sponsors and customers enjoy approaching the sacredness through buying things and taking part in sessions which are related to spirituality. Although approaching the sacredness is often accompanied with danger, they seem to devote themselves to "dedication" and yet keep themselves from any trouble and violence. How can they do so? In this paper I intend to verify, by taking "SPICON" as an example, that a new type of safety device for approaching the sacredness is appearing in Japanese society.

To be a creative city is now one of the most popular policy goals for urban governments, although the concept is ambiguous and critics are skeptical about its ability to regenerate urban areas. This paper examines the role that this concept plays in urban governance. First, I explain the political economic process called ‘glocalization’, which has enhanced inter-urban competition since the 1970s. Then I describe how urban politics has been transformed, taking on an entrepreneurial form, and how cultural policy is used to reconstruct an urban image to attract investment and human capital. Although rebuilding a city's image is a contested process, the ambiguity of the term ‘creative city’ as a policy issue is utilized to mobilize various political and cultural actors for urban growth.
